Studies on poly(acrylic acid)/attapulgite superabsorbent composites. II. Swelling behaviors of superabsorbent composites in saline solutions and hydrophilic solvent–water mixtures

The effect of the attapulgite content on the swelling for a series of poly(acrylic acid)/attapulgite superabsorbent composites in water was studied. The effects of the temperature and pH values on the water absorbency of the superabsorbent composites were investigated. The swelling behavior of the superabsorbent composites in various saline solutions was also investigated. The water absorbency in various salt solutions decreased with an increase in the ionic strength of the solutions. At a high ionic strength (>1 × 10^?3M), the water absorbency in monovalent cationic solutions was higher than that in multivalent cation solutions. This dramatic reduction of the water absorbency in multivalent cationic solutions of high ionic strength may have been due to the complexing ability of the carboxylate groups inducing the formation of intramolecular and intermolecular complexes, which resulted in an increased crosslink density of the network. The swelling behavior of the superabsorbent composites in mixtures of water and hydrophilic solvents, including methanol, acetone, ethanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), was also investigated. The water absorbency decreased with an increase in the concentration of any of the four organic solvents, and two transitions were observed in the superabsorbent composite/hydrophilic solvent–water mixture systems. The main transition for the four hydrophilic solvent–water mixtures was a collapse of the swollen gel (at 50–80% methanol, 30–80% acetone, 50–80% ethanol, and 50–80% DMSO). For the methanol–water system, the magnitudes of the first and second transitions for the poly(acrylic acid)/attapulgite superabsorbent composites containing lower proportions of attapulgite were larger than those for the superabsorbent composites with higher attapulgite contents. The effect of the mixture temperature on the water absorbency of the superabsorbent composites in 10 min was also reported. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 94: 1869–1876, 2004

In this work, a series of novel hydroxyethyl cellulose‐ g‐poly(acrylic acid)/attapulgite (HEC‐g‐PAA/APT) superabsorbent composites were prepared through the graft polymerization of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), partially neutralized acrylic acid (AA), and attapulgite (APT) in aqueous solution, and the composites were characterized by means of Fourier‐transform spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electronmicroscopy. The effects of polymerization variables including concentrations of the initiator and crosslinker and APT content on water absorbency were studied, and the swelling properties in various pH solutions as well as the swelling kinetics in various saline solutions were also systematically evaluated. Results showed that the introduction of 5 wt% APT into HEC‐g‐PAA polymeric network could improve both water absorbency and water absorption rate of the superabsorbent composites. In addition, the superabsorbent composites retained high water absorbency over a wide pH range of 4–10, and the swelling kinetics of the superabsorbent composites in CaCl₂ and FeCl₃ solutions exhibited a remarkable overshooting phenomenon.

Synthesis and swelling characteristics of a pH‐responsive guar gum‐g‐poly(sodium acrylate)/medicinal stone superabsorbent composite

A series of pH‐responsive superabsorbent composites were synthesized by the free‐radical grafting copolymerization of natural guar gum (GG), partially neutralized acrylic acid (NaA), and medicinal stone (MS) using ammonium persulfate (APS) as the initiator and N,N′‐methylene‐bis‐acrylamide (MBA) as the crosslinker. The structure, surface morphologies, and thermal stability of the developed composites were characterized by FTIR spectra, SEM, and TGA techniques, respectively. The effects of various saline, surfactant, and dye solutions on swelling properties were investigated, and the pH‐responsivity was also evaluated. Results indicated that NaA had been grafted onto GG macromolecular chains and MS participated in the polymerization reaction. The incorporation of MS obviously improved the surface structure, thermal stability, water absorption capacity, and rate. Multivalent saline, cationic surfactant, and dye showed more remarkable effect on the water absorption than did monovalent or anionic ones. The composites showed excellent responsive properties and reversible On–Off switching characteristics in various pH buffer solutions, which provided great possibility to extend the application domain of the superabsorbent composites.

Characterization and biodegradability of amphoteric superabsorbent polymers

Novel amphoteric superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) based on carboxymethyl cellulose, acrylic acid, acrylamide, and [2‐(methylacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride were prepared by inverse suspension copolymerization. The SAPs were characterized by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The absorbency or swelling behaviors in deionized water, saline solutions, and pH value solutions were investigated. Experimental results indicate that the absorbency in various solutions decreases with an increase of the ion concentration, which was attributed to osmotic pressure of water and ions between the polymeric gel and the external solutions. Biodegradability of the amphoteric SAPs was also reported. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

Synthesis,swelling behaviors,and slow‐release characteristics of a guar gum‐g‐poly(sodium acrylate)/sodium humate superabsorbent

Superabsorbents used in agricultural and ecological projects with low‐cost, slow‐release fertilizers and environmentally friendly characteristics have been extensively studied. The use of a natural polymer as the matrix and then further polymerization with some functional material has become the preferred method. In this work, with natural guar gum (GG), partially neutralized acrylic acid, and sodium humate (SH) as the raw materials, ammonium persulfate as the initiator, and N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as the crosslinker, GG‐g‐poly(sodium acrylate) (PNaA)/SH superabsorbents were synthesized through a solution polymerization reaction and were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of the SH content and MBA concentration on the water absorbency were investigated. The results showed that the introduction of SH into the GG‐g‐PNaA system could improve the water absorbency, swelling rate, pH‐resistant property, and reswelling capability, and the superabsorbent containing 15 wt % SH had the highest water absorbency of 532 g/g of sample in distilled water and 62 g/g of sample in a 0.9 wt % NaCl solution. The slow release in water and water retention in sandy soil tests revealed that the superabsorbent could act as a fertilizer as well as an effective water‐saving material for agricultural applications. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Design and synthesis of the agricultural and ecological superabsorbent materials with cost‐efficient and fertilizer‐release characteristics has recently attracted considerable interests. In this work, the novel poly(sodium‐potassium acrylate‐co‐acrylamide)/plant ash (PNa‐KA‐co‐AM/PA) superabsorbent composites with potassium‐release characteristics were prepared using partially neutralized acrylic acid (Na‐KA), acrylamide (AM), and plant ash (PA) as raw materials, ammonium persulfate (APS) as the initiator, and N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as the crosslinker.

Study on superabsorbent composites. IX: Synthesis,characterization and swelling behaviors of polyacrylamide/clay composites based on various clays

A series of clay-based superabsorbent composite from acrylamide (AM) and various clays, such as attapulgite, kaolinite, mica, vermiculate and Na⁺-montmorillonite, was prepared by free-radical aqueous polymerization, using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker and ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator, and then saponified with sodium hydroxide solution. In this paper, the reaction mechanism and thermal stability of the superabsorbent composites incorporated with various clays were characterized by FTIR, XRD and TGA, respectively. The effects of clay kind and clay content on equilibrium water absorbency of these composites were also investigated and compared. In addition, the influences of clay kind on comprehensive swelling behaviors of the PAM/clay superabsorbent composites were studied. The results indicated that the introduced clays could influence physicochemical properties of obtained superabsorbent composites. Mica could improve thermal stability of corresponding superabsorbent composites to the highest degree comparing with the other clays. The PAM/clay superabsorbent composites incorporated with 10 wt% clay of various kinds were all endowed with equilibrium water absorbency of more than 1300 g g⁻¹. The equilibrium water absorbency decreases with increasing clay content and correlates with the kind of clay. Attapulgite-based superabsorbent composite was endowed with higher water absorbency in univalent cationic saline solution, however, the vermiculite- and the kaolinite-based ones acquired the highest water absorbency in CaCl₂ and FeCl₃ aqueous solution, respectively. Moreover, the superabsorbent composites incorporated with Na⁺-montmorillonite have higher swelling rate and that of doped with mica was endowed with higher reswelling capability.
